Thanks for sharing. I for one find it really fun to hear others' flying adventures. Would sure love to tool around the perfectly clear blue skies of So Cal in my Piet!! I've always thought Nav would be so easy out there with all the major landmarks. Here's everything is flat and looks the same from the air, you have to really fly in an area for a while before you start noticing the subtle nuances so you know where you are.

I think it's amazing he still has the same plane and flies regularly! My son and I just picked up a project from a guy who built it thirty years ago and has been flying it regularly, over a thousand hours, ever since. Unfortunately he had a little mishap, kids aren't interested in his plane at all, and his flying days are over...

Yes the airspace is cluttered and somewhat restricted. Gary's pic shows it well. If you position yourself properly when leaving San Diego it is easy going north. Once up a thousand feet you can see the San Bernardino mountains 90 miles away. Then you just pick a point to fly towards and manage your altitude to avoid the restricted airspace. Not really a big deal. When flying through the Midwest, it is very challenging to me to use pilotage only. The GPS is a must have for me when flying back there. Tools, good to hear you got another plane for your boy to fly. Now you can have yours back.
